Answer

$V_{12} = 8V$ $V_{33} = 22V$

Work Step by Step

Equivalent resistance of the circuit $R_{eq} = 12\Omega + 33\Omega =45\Omega$ Current in circuit $I =\frac{v}{R_{eq}} = \frac{30V}{45\Omega} =\frac{2}{3}A$ now potential difference across $12\Omega$ is $V_{12} =IR= \frac{2}{3} *12V = 8V$ and potential difference across $33\Omega $ is $V_{33} = IR = \frac{2}{3}*33 V = 22V$
